Our cutting-edge machine tool process technologies, coupled with premium machine tool solutions, and our combined support, training, and applications expertise have provided the metal cutting manufacturing industry with unparalleled productivity, reliability, and cost effectiveness. www.caroneng.com 207.646.6071 116 Willie Hill Rd., Wells, ME As a solution, they implemented Caron Engineering's Tool Connect system. The tool data is programmed on the tool's RFID tag and Tool Connect reads the tag to automatically index the tool carousel to the proper tool pot. Once the operator has loaded the tool and confirmed the load, all tool data from the RFID tag is automatically loaded into the machine. The customer also integrated Caron Engineering's Smart Light System, (mounted above each machine), to display how many tools are expired on each machine. With this visual indicator, the person responsible can tell from anywhere on the shop floor which machine requires the most attention, to keep all machines running without interruption.
